[Q] adb push permissions

Okay, I hate to ask, because I just know it's been asked before.
I've done a search and also read the adb how to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
So I'm going to ask anyway, and I apologise profusely.
I am trying to push a file back to my Samsung Galaxy I9000.
I have it rooted using 'Super one click', and have managed to pull the file from the phone.
When I try to push it says 'Failed to copy, file is a read-only system'
The suggestions so far have included 'Adb remount', which gives me an additional error.
remount failed: No such file or directory
Also when I jump in shell apparently I am supposed to see a $, which indicates ADB is ready, instead I am seeing a #. I assume this means I'm not in super user mode, but unsure how to get there.
Any assistance appreciated. Basically I'm trying to upload a glass task bar just to get an idea of how to play around with this. But I get stuck at the first hurdle.
Yes, I have created backups of the files I am pulling and pushing
Thanks.

The easiest way if you're rooted is to use root explorer. Just go in the directory where you want to put the file, click in the upper right corner below the clock on R/W to change the system from read-only (R/O) to read & write and you're good to go to do whatever yoy want with the files on your phone.
edit: Also, you get in super user mode when you write su

is that adb su insert command here ?

Well, you asked how to get in super user mode - just write su. But I think # is what you should be getting in super user mode and not the dollar sign. Also, did you try using root explorer

Yeah, went and purchased root explorer. Does the job well, (cheers for that) I was just hoping to understand the computer system also.

there is a free program alternative to root explorer and i use it .it's supermanager.
I think this might help (for understanding)
adb shell
su
mount -rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system. (u can know u r /system complete path by typing "mount" in the shell).
after ur work
mount -ro
exit
exit
hope this helps.(The part i got stuck was after mounting as rw i could not get it back to ro )

"Stuck" on Nexus Prime boot animation

Hi,
I've downloaded and installed though recovery mode the boot animation from Nexus Prime on my Galaxy S but now that animation doesn't leave my screen anymore, it keeps running in the foreground even after boot is complete. I can feel and "interact" with the home screen in the background but I'm totally blind.
Already attempt to install Samsung stock boot animation back and also other ones without any success. Prime animation is still there.
Anyone here had the same issue or know some smarter and better way to remove this without have to install custom rom back? Unfortunately I don't have a backup for everything :/ (lessons learned)
Appreciate your attention and help!
- Willian

Get to recovery and try connect your phone via adb, then replace the boot animation... But it sounds like the boot animation may not be the issue...

I've tried to mount /system and move the boot animation to /system/media without any luck, getting 'permission denied' everytime.
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push GalaxyS-Edify.zip /system/media/

Thanks again!

You could try to make an update.zip which replaces the nexus prime bootanimation with the stock one.

I'll give a try. First time creating an update.zip but let's see if it works.
Thank you.

Nothing ;/
unless I've made something wrong

Im not too familiar with adb but ill give it a shot... Btw you have root and busybox installed?
Get to recovery..hopefully debug is on, plug it in..
Get to platform-tools as you did, then type
adb devices (you should see your device, if not close it all and install the drivers again from kies, then try again...)
type the following, after you have got to platform-tools using the cd command
adb shell mount /system
nothing should show up
you know where the bootanimation is? if not find it, using "adb shell ls /" this will show all the directories, carry on searching it till you find it
next you want to move it so like you did...or like this
"adb shell rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip"
Now check its gone, using the ls command
now put yours in.. rename it to bootanimation.zip
"adb push C:\your full directory of where it is with bootanimation.zip /system/media"
and it should say that its gone....
hopefully that all works..
let us know

Hey Talon, thanks for helping me out, really appreciate!
Hmm, yes for root but no quite sure about busybox now.
I found bootanimation.zip inside /system/media and there's also a bootanimation file inside /system/bin but not quite sure what it's used for.
Got a permission problem when trying to remove the .zip file:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell rm -f /system/media/bootanimatio
n.zip
rm: can't remove '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': Permission denied
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell chmod 755 /system/media/bootanim
ation.zip
chmod: /system/media/bootanimation.zip: Operation not permitted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What am I missing?
Regards.

Ok maybe you know more about these commands but why did you type "-f" after rm? have you tried without it?
In the second box you were trying to change permission (had to search that ) why not change it to 777 for full, and instead apply it to the directory, so the media folder then try...
have you tried just pushing the new file to the media folder?
Btw why not just try flash a new rom either through recovery or odin. I guess you can try this so you don't loose anything, but i think that would be the simplest of things to do. You will loose apps and settings, but int sd should still be there.
Anyway see how that goes...
Just seen this says to remove you can use "adb shell rm -r" so add "-r" instead of the f that you did.
Oh and lastly, if you still cant do that, try copy the whole media folder, make sure you have everything by using ls /system/media then try remove the media file and put it all back with your new boot animation.. (dont forget to rename the bootanimation

Not really, just a few commands. The "-f" just removes the file without the need to confirm your action but no enough permission to perform such action and I'm not able to change this.
I have been trying many ways to move the file to the media folder but could not find one that works yet.
Hmm, I would like to avoid that :/ but maybe it's the only way.
I think my problem here is that I can't get superuser access. When I type "su" I just get a segmentation fault message. Couldn't find a way to fix that yet.
Thanks.

Try to flash this update.zip threw your cwm, just go to install zip from sdcard and choose the update.zip, sure first you have to copy it to your sdcrad . (i've tested it, for me everything worked fine)
hope i was able to help

[Q] Can't Install CWM Recovery

Hello All,
I have been in and out of every Dev and General forum about installing the CWM on Z8. Unfortunately I have yet to find a solid solution to the below errors when using MTM's ZV8CWMRecovery bat. I would be posting in related thread on the dev site, but I don't have enough posts to post in there. So far I have seen multiple users with this problem:
Recovery for ZV8
Press any key to continue . . .
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *

remount failed: Operation not permitted

rm failed for /data/local.prop, No such file or directory
CWM Recovery!!!
Press any key to continue . . .
I have only seen a couple answers to this that actually address the error messages. One being to manually copy the local.prop into the data folder. I have tried taking the local.prop file and moving it to /data but when I do I get the error message on my phone saying java.io.filenotfoundexception:/data/local.prop (permission denied).
I feel that this has something to do with Superuser mainly because when I have tried to use other methods like using quick boot or Rom Manager to boot into recovery, I get messages saying that Super User has denied access.
1) Is anyone else having similar Super User problems when they get the CWM installation error above?
2) Can anyone think of a correlation bewtween the super User error and the CWM installation errors?
3) Can anyone give any usefull insight into what these mean?
rm failed for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, Read-only file system
rm failed for /system/recovery-from-boot.p, Read-only file system
rm failed for /data/local.prop, No such file or directory
Any support is much appreciated.

I am going to try the suggestion in this thread right now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594369
I will let you know.

OK, I have decided that my main problem right now is that SuperUser is denying access to every program that could help me (Quick boot, Rom Manager, Terminal emulator). Every time I try and run any of those I get a message saying it was blocked by SU. I have set SU to allow all requests, yet it still Denies access?
Anyone with Ideas on how to stop this without starting from scratch?

Sounds like the phone did not root properly. I had that problem before where i had superuser but no root access to anything. My solution was starting over from scratch, im not sure how to do it w/o starting over. If you have everything on the computer already then starting over should only take 15 mins or so. For me thats how long it took after i had all downloads and installs in place

Thanks for the info. I did end up starting from scratch and the superuser thing was definitely a root problem. However, I still have one problem preventing me from the upgrade which is that every time I try to copy any file to the /data folder i get the java.io.filenotfoundexception:/data/local.prop (permission denied) that I mentioned above... I cannot figure out what permissions I need to change or how

[Q] adb can't seem to get SU permission when in clockwork

can someone please help. im pulling my hair out lol
im trying to fix a friends phone GT-I9000.
basically i get error in mounting sdcard.
after searching endlessly and installing 100s of stock rom. still no luck.
i have come across this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253036
im hoping i can reset my partition on the sdcard.
but i can't get su permission on android sdk adb shell command
phone is in clockwork recovery mod when running the adb commands
i.e. this is the code i have to do..
adb shell
mount /sdcard
su
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
quit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but it ends up like...
adb shell
~ $ mount /sdcard
mount /sdcard
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
~ $
Click to expand...

the su command it not recongised.... any ideas?
the phone will not boot into any rom. only option is recovery or download mode.
i have rooted it with CF-ROOT, which in turn installs CWM
HELP please!!!!!!!!

Hi , have you tried flashing a stock rom(with 3 files....csc , pda and phone) and also the odin pit512 file....repartition box checked also. screen shots and some download links in : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23213912&postcount=6

Yep. Tried lots of stock rom. Pits file. Repartition etc.
Looks like only option left is that command. If that doesn't work the SD card hardware must be bad.
Don't understand why I can't get su. I can't get rom to install. Therefore no debug mod

IIRC, I had same kind of problems long time ago..can't really remember what I did to fix it, but there is this "remount" command what needed to run before trying to run some shell commands. So try "adb remount". It's probably just for setting r/w permissions, but it's worth of trying
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

ok gonna try that.
i did find a thread that said using this parted script but you have to put it across to the sd card. can't do that because its not reading the sd... lol
stuff ive done to date.
tried installing any stock rom. from 2.3.6 to 2.1 all diffferent type like JPY etc.
tried various settings on odin , i.e. re-partition, pit files, bootloaders etc..
ive rooted with ct-root to get clockwork recovery install.
its bascially not doing any of the installation on restart from a flash from odin.
i guess that means the flash rom won't setup/install lol
im at a bit of a lost end...
any way of clearing and remaking the partitions via odin??

remount
failed unknown error 0
this is getting annoying any ideas?
su not found

for the sake of answering my own question
by the looks of it my internal memory is dead. therefore returned under warrenty
i could install a rom by inserting an external sd card. but it was a bit annoying because it couldn't save photos etc.

[Q] Supersu don't update, but adb shell is granted! HELP

Hello guys, it's the first time that i post in XDA, i don't know if i am in the right place (sorry if no, and sorry for my bad english), but i have a tablet RK3066 (DL tablet 3003) (at least is what cup-id say) and i have recently flashed it to stock firmware, before, i had root acess in it, i don't remember how i did it at the first time, but i was with serious problems to do it.
Ok, now, after i flashed it, and try to root again, i tryed to use Kingoroot via pc, and it says "root success", but Supersu.apk don't update the binary and even if i tap cancel update, the app that need root permission don't is prompted and can't get permission.
Ok, you can say, so, you haven't root installed, try another way!
But, how can i do not have root installed if, even with this things, in adb i have all the permission?!
And the most curious, i know if you will use adb shell it will return a line with this $, and then you type "su" to it turn into #, but here no! When i use adb shell it comes already with a #, to be more especific, it comes like this "[email protected]:/ # ".
So, i don't know more what can i do cause i have root acess via adb, but Supersu.apk don't update binary and don't prompt to permissions.
I have a custom CWM for RK3066 generic from androidtab, but with some erros to mount some folders like sdcard, system...
If someone know how to fix this i will be thankful.
I was thinking about a way to change apk permissions via adb, someone can say to me how can i grant permissions to apk via adb commands?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english, i am brazilian that never studied in a english school, and sorry if i am in the wrong place for this!
PS01: I already try to unroot but without success, any way, i can unnistall and install supersu any time but no work, can't update binary.
PS02: I have this issue too via cwm:
HTML:
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
If can help you, i am posting the cache/recovery/last_log files pulled via adb. and a SS of the adb shell in #.
I already try to use TWRP but the touch is with some issues in this recovery mode!
PS03: I used KingoRoot to root it again, then, it installed KingoUser(to grant permissions, it is working), but i want to use Supersu, and Supersu cannot update binary.

If you're running Android > 4.2, you may try the solution in the attachement. If you're running Windows, and if your Android system is 32 bit, just (double) click on the *-32.bat file.

The kingroot stuff puzzled me to the point that I started to play with it. I quickly found out that it was difficult to remove. I could do it with a few scripts in the attachement. The key point is removing file attributes. I look forward to hear of success or failure with details.
